	Feb. 24th, Corcovado Park: Crossing a river with our guide in Corcovado National Park.
	Tom navigates a log to cross the river leading to the waterfalls in Corcovado Park. An inclined, narrow, slippery log.
	With that much water (you know, "rain" forest), you run into a lot of waterfalls.
	Caterpillars hiding under a leaf along our walk through Corcovado Park. We saw agoutis and jesus lizards that day, and probably the cutest animal - a snoozing prehensile-tailed porcupine who put on a rowdy wake-up, blink and yawn, go-back-to-sleep show for us.
	Each time you look up your eyes take a minute to make sense of the plants on plants on trees growing. This tree was full of bromeliads making a bid for the most sunlight.
	Feb 25th, Tom's burnt skin's day off, Audra and mom head out to Rio Claro: Tom's feet in paradise. Sunlight, a deserted beach and a hammock in the shade.
	The Rio Claro empties into the Pacific. It was an easy, do it yourself walk along a beachside jungle path. My mom and I had 3 dogs from the neighboring Divine Dolphin to escort us. A black lab that stayed one step behind me at all times and a mutt and weimaraner who kept bounding ahead, stopping and looking back to make sure they hadn't left us behind. They worried the monkeys we met on the way, but at the Rio Claro they were the ones who "convinced" some jesus lizards to run across the water.
	Rio Claro - I finally saw 1000's of little frogs (litte, brown ones the size of a dime) resulting from the 100,000's of tadpoles we'd seen in jungle pools, popped up overnight and in rivers, the entire trip. It was dry season, but had rained at least one day of our trip. Up in the mountains, more.
	A small, 15 ft island in the Rio Claro. Past there you could swim up to a waterfall about 50 meters in, but we just stayed near the shore, swam after fish and lizards and watched the frogs.
	Fresh water, beach, salt water.
	Rio Claro, looking away from the ocean.
	Rio Claro: our doggie escorts in a bunch, looking for lizards to chase.
